Schnitzel

Schnitzel

Schnitzel is a classic Austrian dish made with breaded and fried meat, typically veal or pork.

Ingredients

  • Lemon wedges (for serving)
  • Vegetable oil (1/2 cup)
  • Pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Breadcrumbs (2 cups)
  • Eggs (2)
  • All (purpose flour - 1 cup)
  • Veal or pork cutlets (4 pieces)

Instructions

  1. Place the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
  3. Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
  4. Dip each veal or pork cutlet into the flour, shaking off any excess.
  5. Next, dip the cutlet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  6. Finally, coat the cutlet in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  8. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Add the breaded cutlets and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  10. Transfer the schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  11. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
